IAD 12/13 Ramp Photos

Today was just about a beautiful day for anything in Washington, D.C. I just happened to be so lucky to get out on the ramp at Dulles for a few hours this afternoon and was absolutely blown away by the light! Enjoy. :)

Nice set.. Like Air France and SAS...

Very nice!! How were so lucky?

Fantastic! I wish we could all be so lucky to get an opportunity like that (for 24 hrs).

Above exceptional, wish I could do something like that one day. :wink:

Gorgeous stuff .. Job well done!

Beautiful shots. I think the candy red that Virgin Atlantic uses now is my favorite color and you captured it well!

I like the North American. :)

Great shots!

Thanks, guys! I was really happy with how they turned out. I've worked at the airport before and have kept a few contacts there, which certainly comes in handy. ;)

Phil, the NA 763 is among three that are based at Dulles now and replaced the Vision Air 767-200s. It's very questionable as to what and who they operate for now...

Questionable? haha. Do you just mean secretive?

I miss that company.

Can I post some of mine from that day? Not all of us are lucky enough to get on the ramp! ;)

Nice shots regardless, John! The light was perfect. Nice catch on the German Air Force plane and the United Star 777, didn't get a chance to photograph either.

Beautiful shots, Gordon!

Is that a C-160? That's an amazing catch on this side of the pond!

Phil, the German Air Force has a base at Dulles. This means that C-160's, the Luftwaffe tanker A310's, and the A340-300 are common visitors to IAD. Though it's still pretty unique to see them here.

Well, I can see I'll have to go back down to Dulles soon and get that camo Transall.

Great shots guys! Iberia you lucky dog
